Description

Two characters, one rivalry

Newt Scamander is the mild-mannered magizoologist at the centre of the Fantastic Beasts films, while Gellert Grindelwald ranks among the most powerful dark wizards in the wider Harry Potter universe. Putting them in the same box reflects the antagonism between the two characters on screen. Fans of the films will spot familiar cues in the simplified BrickHeadz proportions, from coat colours to hairstyles, even though the style trades realism for instant recognisability.

The BrickHeadz format

Both figures follow the standard BrickHeadz formula: an oversized, largely cube-shaped head, a compact body and a round display base, with facial detail kept deliberately simple. The colour palette of medium nougat, white, light bluish grey and black covers skin tones, clothing and contrast without chasing fine detail. That stripped-back approach is what sets BrickHeadz apart as its own collecting category, built around recognisable characters rather than screen-accurate proportions. Both bases are printed with the character's name, so it is immediately clear who is on display even from across a shelf.

A short, satisfying build

At 247 pieces and 75 unique elements, the set sits in the typical range for a BrickHeadz double pack. Instructions follow the clear, step-by-step style the line is known for, which makes it a reasonable pick for newer builders or a quick session between larger projects. Each figure ends up on its own round base once finished, so they can be displayed together or split up across a wider BrickHeadz collection.

Reading the parts list

This page lists every element in the set with its colour and quantity, which is useful for collectors who own several BrickHeadz sets and want to compare parts across them. Certain elements, such as the round bases or particular head shapes, turn up repeatedly across the range, so checking the list makes it easier to spot what these two figures share with other characters already on the shelf. Quantities per colour also make it easier to plan a head swap or a small custom variant using spare pieces from other sets.
